Blind Golfer, 85 Years Old, Shoots Hole-in-One
By Ken Horn | April 12, 2008
An AP report from Green Valley, Arizona carries one of the best sports stories ever.
An 85-year-old legally blind golfer from southern Arizona made a hole-in-one this week on a par-3 course. Robert Dunham accomplished the feat on the third hole at Tortuga in Green Valley.
Playing with a group of fellow blind veterans enrolled in a Veterans Affairs health care system program, Dunham’s volunteer assistant lined him up with the ball, handed him a 9-iron and stepped back.
What an inspirational story … and a great illustration for people who are up in their years. Life is still to be lived. Christians who are up in age still have a lot to give. Never quit living. Never quit serving Jesus. There are very few golfers, even in their prime, who have a hole-in-one to their credit. And there are things you can do to impact the Kingdom that others can’t. You are precious to the Lord.
